Cruise Days in Hamburg in September
From September 8 to 10, 2023, Hamburg will once again be all about cruising: the Hamburg Cruise Days are returning! After a special edition last year, which took place in a reduced form due to the pandemic, visitors can expect a superlative festival this year. The event will feature impressive cruise ships and a high-quality, colorful land program, including the famous Blue Port Hamburg and spectacular event highlights such as the parade on Saturday evening. AIDA Cruises is once again a premium partner of the event.
During the three-day festival, nine cruise ships will be featured in the Hamburg Cruise Days Parade, Blue Port Hamburg and a diverse program ashore ranging from culture to culinary arts. Fans of cruises have long waited for this event and are invited to the Port of Hamburg from Friday, September 8 to Sunday, September 10, 2023.
Michael Otremba, managing director of the licensing Hamburg Tourismus GmbH:
“The Hamburg Cruise Days and the Blue Port Hamburg will create a unique atmosphere in the port. Guests and Hamburg residents will be able to experience the special fascination of sea travel and cruising up close, as is only possible in Hamburg.”
Currently have Nine ships registered for the event weekend – from imposing ocean cruisers to stylish luxury liner until the elegant expedition ship and river cruisers: AIDAprima, AIDAperla and AIDAsol (AIDA Cruises); Artania (Phoenix Reisen); Mein Schiff 6 (TUI Cruises); MS Frederic Chopin; MS Sans Souci (PLANTOURS Cruises); VASCO DA GAMA and WORLD VOYAGER (nicko cruises). The event area stretches from the Landungsbrücken to the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall, where visitors can expect a colorful program with exciting presentations by the individual shipping companies and other land presentations. Here they can stroll, enjoy and linger. There is something for every taste, from cabaret, music and dance on the show stage to various culinary offerings and a children’s adventure world. An absolute highlight of the event is the Blue Port Hamburg, where light artist Michael Batz will once again bathe the harbor in magical blue light one week before the Hamburg Cruise Days, creating an unforgettable experience for all visitors.
Cruise Days in Hamburg with many highlights
The highlight of the event will undoubtedly be the Great Hamburg Cruise Days Parade on Saturday evening, when five cruise ships will parade along the Elbe River in the evening. It is planned that premium partner AIDA Cruises will lead the parade with AIDAprima. The following ships are each accompanied by a fireworks sequence. As is tradition, the parade is hosted by actor Marek Erhardt and accompanied by music – and ends with a closing fireworks display. Other planned highlights of the event include harbor tours of the river cruise ships and the simultaneous departure of AIDAperla and AIDAsol on Sunday with music and moderation.
